Freeform crocheted Marius

Description: I have crocheted a free form motif with birds. The pattern to the birds can be downloaded free at the knit and crochet site ravelry.com.

I first crocheted two long tubes to cover the legs of the chair. Then I made the birds and crochet and sewed them together to a big circle, and at last I crochet around the piece to make it big enough to fit the plate. I added a piece of foam rubber to make the chair a little bit more soft to sit on, and then I wrapped it with the crocheted cover.

so cute! looking at it makes me smile! what an inspirational project. now i am looking at the sitting surfaces on the chairs and barstools at home in a different light – all the happy patterns i can potentially cover them with to make home more cheery. unlike you, i don’t have your amazing crochet skills – it’ll take me months / years to produce just one cover.look forward to more crochet projects from you.

This looks totally lovely.Just thought the effort might not be worth it, because the stool is the crappest thing I ever bought from IKEA – it’s so unstable. But maybe that was just the one I got, dunno…
